TORONTO - Its been a frustrating ordeal that has taken up the better part of two seasons, and involved more than dozen pairs of skates. Andre Smith Jersey .But finally, Kevin Reynolds believes its over. Hes found a pair of skates that fit.And now the 24-year-old from Coquitlam, B.C., heads into next weeks Canadian figure skating championships in Kingston, Ont., more confident than hes been in ages, and with his eyes on capturing his first national senior title.I want to be able to show that I can be back in competitive shape, and Ive done everything that I can, and whatever happens at the national championships, whether its good or bad, Ill know I put my utmost effort into it, Reynolds said on a conference call Friday.Reynolds skate issues began early last season, when he couldnt find a pair of boots that properly fit his uniquely shaped foot: very narrow at the heel and wide in the front. He went through nine pairs of boots last season, four in the off-season. He finally gave up counting.So after having to withdraw from both Skate Canada International and the NHK Trophy, he switched his focus to other brands of boots, trying the best model available in every brand until he found one he liked.Which brand he chose, he preferred not to say Friday. Hell talk about that after the Canadian championships.But the new boots have allowed him to train hard for a solid four to five weeks, which is more than hes managed in almost two seasons.To be able to train my programs, to be able to train the quadruple jumps every day, and gain some of the consistency back, its really helped my confidence, and Im looking forward to putting things out there again, Reynolds said.In nine Canadian senior championships, Reynolds has won a bronze medal, and finished with silver medals the last three seasons behind Patrick Chan. But Chan, an Olympic silver medallist and three-time world champion, is taking this season off to ponder his competitive future, and Reynolds said a national title would be the perfect way to mark his 10th appearance in the event.Among the other skaters eyeing the national title: 16-year-old Nam Nguyen, who won last years world junior championships. Reynolds said his small amount of decent training isnt the ideal preparation for the Canadian championships.Ive had to compress a whole years training into four or five weeks, he said.But being able to finally compete in a boot that fits, and wont break down after a couple of weeks of training — a secondary issue hed been encountering — has been a massive weight lifted.(The lack of confidence) was more of an issue heading into the national championships and Olympic Games last year, because I had never dealt with something of this magnitude before, Reynolds said. But it has been ongoing for so long that Ive really become almost accustomed to it, that things have not been as consistent as Id like, and Ive just had to fight through it, and do the best I can.Coming off a fifth place finish at the 2013 world championships, Reynolds had high hopes for last season. But after helping the Canadians win silver in the first ever team event at the Olympics in Sochi, the skater known for jumping ability stumbled to a 15th place finish in the individual event. Heartbreak and frustration would follow him into this season, as he pulled out of both Skate Canada International and NHK Trophy because of lack of preparation and a sprained ankle he suffered that he partly attributes to his ill-fitting skates.It was a very difficult decision for me (to withdraw from the two Grand Prix events), because I had felt like I had let people down that had supported me, and not only that but I couldnt believe at that point that the issues I had been dealing with had continued on for so long, Reynolds said.Ive had so many people helping me out, I just want to give back a little bit to all the people who have sacrificed their time and effort to try and help me along the way.

Dunlap set up his winning putt on the par-5 18th hole with an outstanding approach to the right of the pin that bounced past the hole, and then drew back downhill to within four feet. He missed his eagle try but made his next putt for his first Champions Tour victory. "I couldnt see anything (on his approach)," Dunlap said. "The cheers were letting me know." Dunlap, who has played multiple tours through his career with seven worldwide victories, did not win in his three stints -- covering seven seasons -- on the PGA Tour. His best finishes were three thirds. He won a couple times on the Web.com Tour, his last victory in 2008. "It means the wait was worth it," Dunlap said. Brooks, who put himself in jeopardy by landing in a bunker on his drive, just missed a 30-foot putt on his fourth shot. "That tee shot got me in a funny spot," Brooks said. It was the fifth playoff in the 10-year history of the tournament at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Brooks made a dramatic closing run on the back nine to earn his spot in the playoff. He had five straight birdies and six over his final seven holes to finish with a 7-under 65. He had a 6-under 30 on the back nine, one off the course record. Brooks tied Dunlap at 16-under with an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 18. Dunlap, in the final group on the last hole, put his approach shot into the left bunker. His pitch out rolled seven feet past the hole but he missed his putt to the left and had to settle for the playoff. Brooks, the 1996 PGA champion, won seven times on the PGA Tour but has not had a victory in his four years on the CChampions Tour. C.J. Uzomah Jersey. In his three previous appearances at Boeing, he had not finished better than tied for 57th. Gene Sauers finish third at 14-under 202. Tom Pernice Jr. was fourth at 13-under 203. Seven players were within a shot of the lead as they approached the turn when Dunlap eagled the par-5 eighth hole with a 45-foot putt over a ridge. That put him two shots ahead of the field at 13 under. "I felt good at that point and then I played good sensible, what I felt, winning golf," Dunlap said. "But not quite. Turns out I needed one more birdie." However, both Doug Garwood and Tommy Armour III birdied No. 8 to bring them back within one. Dunlap and Armour then broke away. Both birdied No. 10 and Dunlap followed with a birdie on No. 11 for a two-shot advantage over Armour. Armour had the misfortune of hitting the pin on his approach to the 12th green and the ball caromed back well off the green. He settled for a par but needed more. He bogeyed No. 13 and his pursuit was over. Dunlap, wedging his approach on No. 14 to within three feet, dropped in his birdie putt to extend it to 16-under and a three-stroke lead at the time. While others faded, Brooks slipped through the ranks. He birdied Nos. 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 to go 15-under, one behind Dunlap. He parred the par-3 17th before knocking in his birdie on No. 18. Fred Couples, the hometown favourite, shot one of the best rounds of the day at 6-under 66. He finished with an 8-under 208 for 15th place. Bernhard Langer, the overwhelming leader in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, also tied for 15th, finishing outside the top 10 for just the second time in 17 starts this season. His worst previous Boeing finish was tied for 11th twice. Cheap NFL JerseysWholesale JerseysWholesale NFL JerseysJerseys From ChinaWholesale NFL JerseysCheap NFL JerseysCheap Jerseys ' ' '
